Parcel is a Python script designed to simplify the distribution of add-on aircraft for X-Plane via the Skunkscraft Updater.
There is no guarantee that this will work. Instead of contacting the developers like a sane person, I tried reverse-engineering how it works instead. Seemed easier than talking to someone.
To use:
- Drag your aircraft files into workdir.
- (Optional) Drag your .parcelignore file into the same directory as the script. An example file is provided, and file or directory names are supported. Slashes should be omitted.
- Run the python script.
- The resulting files will be left in workdir. Enjoy?
After this is done, you can:
- Compress the files in workdir to distribute as normal.
- Upload the files in workdir alongside the
skunkscraft_updater_*list.txt
files in the directory with the script.
